Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,
Greetings this early morning from our Elkins Park campus where it’s feeling like Fall and we’re getting ready for Thanksgiving next week!
A few nights ago, Drs Eckert, Trego and I, along with Ms. Jacquie Patterson and Kate Braemer were in Chicago for our last stop on the Centennial Tour. We had a great time visiting with both optometry and audiology alumni. I’d like to thank the whole Institutional Advancement team for planning and organizing all of the events over the last 3 months as well as all of our faculty, staff, alumni and friends who came out to see us! We’ll start planning for similar events sometime early next year so we can continue this important outreach to all of our alumni around the country.
Speaking of reaching out to alumni and friends, Dr. Eckert and I are on the road again as you read this as we head down to Orlando to spend time with our Audiology and SLP students, faculty, alumni and friends at the annual meeting of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Many of our students and faculty will be presenting lectures and posters during this annual meeting. Additionally, we’ll be hosting an Alumni and Friends reception later this evening (Friday) in Plaza Ballroom 1 of the Hyatt Regency Orlando starting at 8PM, so if you’re at the meeting or just happen to be in the “neighborhood”, please stop by and join us!
December 3rd is the international day of charitable giving, Giving Tuesday. In honor of the special day, we have a special request for you - help Looking Out for Kids and its Big Red Bus! As some of you have seen, first hand, our 18-year old Big Red Bus has grown tired and old and is in desperate need of replacing. To learn more and see how you can help, please visit salus.edu/givingtuesday and think about giving, even as little as $10, to this most worthy cause on Giving Tuesday. Every dollar helps!
The Salus University Alumni Association, in an effort to support our students and their professional endeavors, is pleased to announce our ninth application period for financial support to students attending professional conferences or traveling with qualifying student outreach programs. This application period is for travel that will occur between February 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020. The following link details the criteria/qualifications, the process for evaluation, and the actual application https://forms.gle/
Finally, today has historic significance in that it was the day that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas in 1963. For those of you old enough, do you remember where you were?
I hope you all have a great weekend and have some time to get out and enjoy the late fall weather. Be safe and look out for one another!
Mike
